Hi, I'm Dave Graybill, the Fishin' Magician!

Fish Lake can be a very scenic lake to fish, particularly in the spring when the snow is still capping the peaks in the distance.

Here you will find current information on fishing in Central Washington State.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991. My reports are now carried on several radio stations and many newspapers in Washington. The reports give what’s happening and how-to information on fishing for bass, perch, walleye, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead and other species.

Hoo-Rag Sun and Wind Protection

It wasn’t that long ago that I first saw guides in Belize wearing light-weight masks for sun protection. Now I see them here in the Northwest all the time, because they serve an important purpose. read more...
